Celebrating Trinity Sunday - Celebrating La Côte Church Community

Divine Disco Fever?
(https://danielleshroyer.com/the-word-perichoresis/)

Dear La Côte Church family and friends,

Our Thanksgiving and Gift Day Service on 15 June this year, coincides with Trinity Sunday. The fellowship of our Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit finds expression in our church community. For the last two weeks I have sent out a question in preparation for Gift Day.

1. What gifts have you received in your unique personhood, that reflect God’s light and truth? (22.5.25)
2. Think about the gifts of others in our church community that have been a blessing to you and/or to others. (29.5.25)

Our life together seeks to reflect the God we worship – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as an expression of God’s loving fellowship open for all the world. So, my question for this week is:

“What God-given gifts help us as a church to share God’s love in our wider community?”

Please think this question over, offer your answers and maybe questions to God in prayer and store them up for our Gift Day service.
